It’s Queens birthday weekend here, a time for many to have a 3 day weekend. Not sure if it as special as it usually feels with all of the lockdown stuff happening earlier. But still, a time to get away? Or maybe work on projects around home?

What are you up to this weekend?

This is a throwback to when I went on a trip with

This is a throwback to when I went on a trip with my old job to a windfarm down in Palmerston North. I’d only just started at the job, and they asked if anyone wanted to go on a trip.

I put my hand up, and went. It made no sense for me to go, as I had nothing to do with this type of thing.

But it was a cool trip. The one thing that sticks in my mind was the guy saying how they would sometimes cook some lunch while sitting on top of the turbine.

That’s my second pumpkin I ever grew on the ground. Packet of seeds brought in a hurry from The Warehouse and I ended up with that great coloured pumpkin. In fact I think I still have some seeds from that pumpkin.

This was part of the vine, really strange looking to a new grower. Haven’t had that happen too often over the years, but with the plant being a living thing you have to expect different things every season.

I finally got around to updating the weight estima

I finally got around to updating the weight estimation page on the website and got around to creating the weight estimation calculator I wanted to see.

You can either put in inches or cm’s and it will show you both estimates. Plus it has some other features. To learn more about it and to have a play with it, head on over to this new blog post entry.

There is only so many photos of past pumpkins and pumpkin related things you can dig out and share. So I thought I’d mix it up this year with some random photos I found thrown into the mix.

Found this guy hanging out one day, really interested in the camera lens. Not sure if they are attracted to glass.

Here’s some friends I made today, well friends might be a stretch, but they were wondering what I was up to.

Feels like I’ve been busy as the last week and a bit. Trying to sort out a bunch of different things all at the same time. And here I was thinking it was going to be a quiet part of the year.

I know I’ve shared this photo before, maybe even more than once. But it’s my very first pumpkin with my little pumpkinhead on top of it. It’s crazy how fast time seems to have gone by.

In that time I’ve done lots of great things, met and spoken to awesome people.

When you stop and think how one random thing, like getting given a giant pumpkin seedling can result in so many other things down the track.

Do you remember how you got started growing giant pumpkins? How long ago? Let me know your story in the comments, I’d love to hear them.

Apparently today is world nude gardening day. So if that sounds like something your going to take part in, here is an article with some handy tips to keep yourself safe.

Also I love how it has to state if you are taking part in this, you must stay in your own garden due to being at level 3 of the lockdown. How many people go to other people’s gardens to do this?

Are you going to take part?
